Hello Insiders! Today we’re releasing build 90.0.796.0 to the Dev channel. No matter who you are, we’ve got lots of exciting content today: Most people are annoyed by constant permission requests from websites, which is why we rolled out a quieter version of notification requests a little while ago. Today, we’ve got an update on that experience that details how we’re tweaking it for specific websites: https://blogs.windows.com/msedgedev/2021/02/16/introducing-adaptive-notification-requests-in-microsoft-edge/. For PDF users, we mentioned last week about our improved right-click menu. We’ve got more details on what to expect from it here: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/articles/introducing-quick-menu-for-pdf-text-annotations/m-p/2140293. Extension developers will be excited by our improvements to the Partner Center.

Finally, for IT managers, we’re curious about how you’re using IE mode and what we can do it improve it for you. To learn how to leave feedback about your legacy browsing needs, click here: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/enterprise/requesting-feedback-on-internet-explorer-mode/m-p/2122301. As for all the new features in the browser this week: Added features: Added the ability to start typing to search as soon as the favorites and history menus are open and loaded. Added suggestions from local browsing history when clicking on the empty address bar on the new tab page. Added support for Friendly Names for certificates in the certificate picker. Enabled Single Sign-On for Mac, fixing an issue where certain websites can’t login. Improved messaging when certain permissions are restricted when viewing a protected PDF. Deprecated the management policy to Enable Native Window Occlusion in favor of the newly-added policy to Enable Window Occlusion. Note that updates to administrative templates or documentation may not have occurred yet. Enabled support for the management policy to control SSL Error Override Allowed For Origins from upstream Chromium. Improved reliability: Fixed a crash when closing the browser. Fixed a crash when showing the autofill suggestion popup. Fixed a crash when using Guided Switch. Fixed a crash for Family Safety users. Fixed a crash when using speech recognition. Fixed a crash when copying something when Data Loss Prevention is enabled. Fixed an issue where the browser uses lots of CPU doing nothing. Fixed an issue where Smart Copy doesn’t work one websites like OneNote. Changed behavior: Fixed an issue where deleted passwords are sometimes restored unexpectedly via sync. Fixed an issue where graphics in certain websites like Excel get corrupted over time. Fixed an issue where print preview sometimes shows the incorrect number of sheets of paper. Fixed an issue with printing multiple sheets per page. Fixed an issue where PDFs created by printing a page using Print To PDF don’t appear in the Downloads list. Fixed an issue where the Sign In To Sync button in Settings isn’t disabled when sign in or sync are turned off via management policy. Fixed an issue where dropdown lists on webpages sometimes are missing options or data. Fixed an issue when dragging a URL from the address bar into a Collection. Fixed an issue with syncing Collections. Fixed an issue where pinning a PWA or website installed as an app to the Taskbar also unexpectedly prompts to pin it to the Start Menu. Fixed an issue where opening a link that’s expected to open in a PWA or website installed as an app doesn’t open the exact link but instead just navigates to the website’s homepage. Fixed an issue where removing a PWA or website installed as an app doesn’t remove its entry from the Start Menu. Fixed an issue where PWAs or websites installed as apps that open child windows don’t get those child windows associated with the main app window, but instead as generic Edge windows. Fixed an issue where price comparison in the Shopping popup isn’t appearing when it should. Removed autofill capabilities from Application Guard windows. Known issues: Certain extensions such as the Microsoft Editor extension don’t work on Linux. As soon as they’re installed, they crash and are disabled. We’re currently investigating. Users of certain ad blocking extensions may experience playback errors on Youtube. As a workaround, temporarily disabling the extension should allow playback to proceed. See https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/articles/known-issue-adblock-causing-errors-on-youtube/m-p/14... for more details. Some users are still running into an issue where all tabs and extensions immediately crash with a STATUS_INVALID_IMAGE_HASH error. The most common cause of this error is outdated security or antivirus software from vendors like Symantec, and in those cases, updating that software will fix it. Users of the Kaspersky Internet Suite who have the associated extension installed may sometimes see webpages like Gmail fail to load. This failure is due to the main Kaspersky software being out of date, and is thus fixed by making sure the latest version is installed. Some users are seeing favorites get duplicated after we made some previous fixes in that area. The most common way this is triggered is by installing the Stable channel of Edge and then signing into it with an account that has already signed into Edge before. This issue should be reduced now that automatic deduplication has been introduced into Insider channels. However, we’ve also seen duplication happen when running the manual deduplicator on multiple machines before either machine has a chance to fully sync its changes, so while we wait for the automatic deduplication to make it to Stable, make sure to leave plenty of time in between runs of the deduplicator. Some users are seeing “wobbling” behavior when scrolling using trackpad gestures or touchscreens, where scrolling in one dimension also causes the page to subtly scroll back and forth in the other. Note that this only affects certain websites and seems to be worse on certain devices. This is most likely related to our ongoing work to bring scrolling back to parity with Edge Legacy’s behavior, so if this behavior is undesirable, you can temporarily turn it off by disabling the edge://flags/#edge-experimental-scrolling flag. As always, we couldn’t do this without you!

Yoneff I am experiencing the same issue when Edge opens. All white screen for several seconds.

josh_bodner This version is completely broken.When starting EDGE, it takes 5-6 sec and the windows stays all white (no title bar, just a white rectangle)this is 30 times slower than previous version - and very annoying - nearly unusable

After applying this update, Edge no longer would open for me instantly. A blank window opened and after a while the top bar with minimize, close buttons appears .. but title bar just says "unresponsive". I kept closing and reopening with no luck. Finally I just left it open and about 5 minutes and the "you've been upgraded" page did finally appear... and the browser worked as expected. But when I close it and open it again, the same thing happens every time. Big white blank screen for about 5 min, then finally opens. Thanks,Terry

josh_bodner I do not think that changing all of 'Manage Favourites', 'Manage history' and 'Manage Downloads' to 'Open in new tab' is at all right. When, in Canary and not having noticed there'd been a change, I actually went to open the Favourites page to do some re-organising after importing some new favourites, opened the more... menu in the favourites dropdown and found 'Open in new tab' but no 'Manage Favourites' I actually thought you'd added some switch as to whether clicking on a favourite opened it in the same or a new tab but had had broken and lost the Manage Favourites to open edge://favorites/ and ended up getting to edge://favorites/ indirectly via edge-urls. And then I submitted it as a bug report via Send Feedback (followed awhile later by a corrected report when I finally realised those 'Open in new tabs' were the 'Manage' links re-titled). It's just not obvious that 'Open in new tab' in those dropdown menus open the full favourite, history and download pages, Please change the name of those actions back. Or change them to 'Show all favourites/history/downloads' or something like that. It's just wrong and confusing, what you've changed it to. Today's Canary is still showing the 'Profile Error' message on every start (though then apparently working OK) that started over a week ago.

manania just watched and it takes about 1.5 minutes every time I launch Edge from Launch to actually getting a web page rendered. Terry PS - incognito does launch instantly though.

Dzień dobry
Widzę że nie tworzy się ścieżka zapisu do pulpitów wirtualnych Sytemu Windows.
Czy jest to docelowe rozwiązanie ?
Czy ma to zastąpić obecna funkcja Kolekcję i umożliwiać ich rozwinięcie ?
Widzę że Edge jest bardziej stabilny , ale brakuje zapisu historii aby korzystać z pulpitów wirtualnych - zapisuje się tylko 1 witryna którą opuściłem - jest konieczność analizy przepływu danych buforowanych .
A może warto zainstalować wyszukiwarkę ulubionych wcześniej była i to przyspieszało korzystanie z ulubionych !
Najważniejsze nie występuję już krytyczne zatrzymanie Edge !
Czekamy na 21H1 dla wszystkich użytkowników !
Pozdrawiam

Dzień dobry
Jestem tu tydzień i zobaczyłem dobry kierunek i dziś to potwierdzam jest znowu lepiej Gratuluję !
Ale oceniam że wsparcie jest rozproszone i nie ukierunkowane na szczególny określony cel - bo przyzwyczajenia są przeszkodą
i myślę że to może być przeszkodą i powodować nieuzasadnione Dla Nowego Edge opinie użytkowników !
Widzę że wymaga to kampanii informacyjnej - Reklamy dla Edge
Świat na to czeka !

josh_bodner Hey,
In this version, some portuguese websites like ctt.pt, meo.pt, moche.pt, sapo.pt and mail.sapo.pt gives me the NET::ERR_CERT_REVOKED error. I've tested other browsers, and it works in Edge Stable as well. When checking the cert, the dates are ok.
I've also reinstalled Edge Dev.

Dzień Dobry Osoby jakie mają problemy z obsługą komputera w stopniu dużych są wykluczone ! ja widzę że Edge się rozbudowuje w dodatkowe funkcje ,ale mój pomysł jest inny ! Ja jawięki jak najbardziej uprościć korzystanie z Edge przez stworzenie 3 wersja ustawień domyślnych ! Dla niepełnosprawnych użytkowników. Ustawienia standardowe . Dla zawansowanych użytkowników Takie podstawowe ustawienia instalacyjne zapewniły przez zasoby, według wymagań i możliwości użytkowników ! Wprowadzenie uproszczeń jest przyszłością Edge , intuicyjność jest podstawą. Bardzo dziękuje za polubienia i miłe przyjęcie Korzystam z tego narzędzia w Nowym Edge i naprawdę działa świetnie! Został poruszony ważny temat warto o tym mówić ! dziękuję

  Nowa wersja lupy zapewnia też czytnik immersyjny i działanie jest wyjątkowo stabilne i mogę je polecić wszystkim !
  i na pewno nie spowalnia komputera to jest tylko w dawniejszych
  wersjach systemu Windows.
  Obecnie taki problem nie występuje !

Serious performance drop after activating Magnifier in Windows 10: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1079362

This bug affects your new Edge too!!!

A ja widzę że kierunek jest dobry ! Nadal jest krytyczne Zatrzymanie Edge , ale to można prześledzić !

Keep getting pop up "Profile error. Some features may not be available. Something went wrong." Uninstall then reinstall = no fix. After some time Edge Dev won't launch. Standard Edge is fine.

josh_bodner When I start the browser, the window stays empty for a long time. I also get this error message:

"Profile error. Some features may not be available. An error has occurred."

If I confirm this with ok, everything actually works. I signed out and signed in again, but the problem persists.

  Uważam że można ocenić to jako usterkę , to jest komunikat wysłany przez kontrolera i ok załatwia problem tak zrozumiałem.
  Rozwiązanie = w ustawieniach Edge wyłącz synchronizacje i ponownie
  włącz.
  I Spróbuj ponownie uruchomić System Windows pewnie aktualizacja
  się zainstaluje .
  I korzystaj z Funkcji Hello Microsoft która potwierdzi twoją tożsamość w Edge
